Multiple
Sclerosis is known for reducing
how well the immune system works so that the body can not fight off
infections very well at all. This makes it so much easier for
those of us with Multiple Sclerosis to end up with bladder infections
very often. All too often, those of us
with Multiple Sclerosis end up with so many
more
infections, than the average person will ever seem to know.

Multiple
Sclerosis bladder infections are much more difficult to
get rid of because the Multiple
Sclerosis
prevents our bodies from being able to fight off the infections.

Multiple Sclerosis
bladder infections can be some of
the nastiest
infections that those us with the Multiple Sclerosiscan
experience, at least in my opinion.

Any type of infection can influence
how out of control the rest of ourMS
symptomscan
become.Surprisingly,
not
all of the infections that those of us withMultiple Sclerosisdo end
up with can cause the long list
of potentialsymptoms
of MSto
flair up and
causems relapses or MS
exacerbationsto
become much worse than they could be otherwise.

Somehow,Multiple
Sclerosis bladderinfections
appear to tend to set us up for more relapses than other type of
infections,
but there are so many things that can over stimulate our multiple
sclerosis immune systems that can contribute to ms relapses that it
isn't always that easy to tell which of the infections reek more havoc
with our bodies.

Multiple
Sclerosis
symptomsthat
can be affected by multiple
sclerosis bladder infections often include:

*MS
fatiguebecomes
overwhelming.

*Multiple
Sclerosis cognitiveproblems
can become worse - thinking things through logically, or figuring
things out
and solving problems can become almost impossible.

*MS
speech problems
- everything can become a word
scramble orMultiple Sclerosis
bladderinfections can
cause more problems with slurring your words when you try to talk.
This
means that often dyslexia can take over and writing, speaking and
interpreting
things can become much more difficult.

*Multiple
Sclerosis
incontinence- loss of
bladder control can become so bad that you starting wetting yourself
frequently
without having enough warning that you can even attempt to make it to
the
restroom to empty theMultiple Sclerosis
bladder. A severe bladder infection can also
cause you to
have to
empty the bladder much more often.

*MS
visionorMS
eyeproblems
are increased. Vision
can become blurry, out of focus, become dimmer and make it much more
difficult
to read or even to see.

*Multiple
Sclerosis pain-
bladder infections are typically
very painful and the pain can be so much worse for those withMS,
because just about any type of pain can cause the nervous system to
become over
stimulated and add to how intense the nerve pain can become.

*MS
numbness-
if you have
numbness instead of MS pain, the numbness can actually increase when a
severe
bladder infection is present.

Multiple
Sclerosis bladderinfections
and MS
incontinence
are frequent problems for many who have been diagnosed
with Multiple Sclerosis. As far as the bladder
infections
go, helping to boost the immune system can help the body of
even
those with Multiple Sclerosis to be able to fight off bladder
infections more easily.

Are there ways that can help with
taming multiple sclerosis bladder infections?

Several herbs and other supplements
can help with boosting the immune system and fighting off ms bladder
infections, including:

Multiple
Sclerosis vitamin d

* Vitamin
D can help to boost theMultiple
Sclerosis immune system and
help reduce bladder infections and other infections, along with helping
to
reduce the frequency and severity of most infections.

* Uva
Ursi - an herb that helps to naturally kill the organism
called E-coli, which is one of the main causes of bladder infections.

* D-Mannose
- this is the active ingredient in cranberry juice that helps to fight
off bladder infections by making the bladder wall slippery to the
bacteria, preventing it from taking hold in the bladder and becoming a
full blown infection. This can be purchased as a powdered
form in
most vitamin stores. If taken as soon as the initial symptoms
of
a bladder infection is noticed, this prevents the infection from taking
hold and becoming a very severe bladder infection.

* Vitamin
C - can help to fight off infections by boosting the
immune
system and helping the body's own natural defense mechanisms to fight
off the infection much sooner. Vitamin C also helps the body
to
fight off any other type of infection too. Vitamin C can be
purchased as a crystalline, powder, capsule or tablet form. I
find
it much easier to absorb the larger quantities of vitamin C if I take
the ascorbic acid crystalline form and mix it with water or juice to
take it. To determine how much vitamin C your body needs to
fight
help boost the immune system to fight off an infection, I gradually
increase how much I take until I get close to bowel tolerance (loose
stools, but not diarrhea) and then I decrease the amount I'm taking
just a little from here.

* Horsetail
- another helpful herb for helping the body to fight off bladder
infections.

- there a few different type of devices fall under this category, with
some differences in functionality and use. The devices that
fall
under this category are FDA approved medical
devices, that
have many other names and different forms of the device that helps to
reduce how severe the bladder infections can become. I
actually
have a form of this device that helps, more often than not, with
killing the organism, that causes the majority of the bladder
infections that I tend to have because of my weakened immune system
because of the effects of Multiple Sclerosis on my body.

If
all fails, for the very severe bladder infections, that body can't seem
to
fight off,
my doctor does resort to using prescription antibiotics for
the bladder infections. The reasons my doctor minimizes using
antibiotics for me is because I develop resistance to the antibiotics
if taken too often in a shorter period of time and they don't work when
I really need them to work the most.

Because
of the MS greatly reducing my immunity at times, bladder infections can
be a very big problem for me. I can have such a big problem
with
bladder infections weakening my immune system that I can get one
infection after the other for 4 to 6 months starlight before my immune
system bounces back some.

Boosting
immunity can also be accomplished by taking the herbs echinacea and
astragalus. The one thing you need to keep in mind with these
type
of herbs is that they can only be taken for 2 weeks straight before you
will need to take a 2 week break from taking them so that this can
actually help to keep from overstimulating the immune system too much
all at one.

There
are other alternative and natural ways that can help to either boost
your ms immune system to help fight off infections or
to
actually help to kill the organism that is the culprit for causing the
bladder infection in the first place, but these are the natural ways
that I try to use at first when I have a bladder infection,
before
I resort to the possibility of taking antibiotics again (since taking
antibiotics tends to weaken myms immune system worse and set me up for
a vicious cycle of one multiple sclerosis bladder infection after
another).
